Skepta: A murderer in jail right now was one phone call away from a good friend
from The Come Up Show
Skepta was in Toronto last week for CMW, he performed at the sold out Danforth Music Hall on the day of his album release Konnichiwa. I submitted a request to CMW for an interview with Skepta and I was told he wasn’t doing any press. I found out Skepta was doing a meet and greet at Play De Record and I decided to go in hopes of interviewing him. I asked around four people in Skepta's team and everyone gave me the same answer that he wasn't doing any press. A few hours later, when Skepta finished signing albums for his fans, I personally asked if I could interview him for five minutes and he agreed! This is the only interview Skepta has done in Toronto and I hope you enjoy it!We talked about the similarities between U.K and Toronto mandem, why he feels the people around you can be the difference between life and death and how he persisted for over a decade in his career.Each and every Wednesday we’ll be uploading a brand new interview with a guest we feel that you should know about.
